Don't Have to Sell Out.

The transparent advertisements-
"Selling Out :" Sweeping Reductions"
Summer Slaughter"-sre old trade
chestnuts, and no one cracks them. No
good business house needs to resort to
such methods to attract customers. You
never hear of Wolfson putting out such
cards, and yet he keeps busy in the
hardest times. He does not have to ''sell
out" He is selling out" and "buying
in" all the time. He has worlds OF
goods, and is receiving consignments
bought for cash all the time. The
harder the times the closer he buys and
the cheaper he sells. He can give you
today figures from 10 to 10 per cent be-
low those heretofore offered, and at this
"selling price" he is continually increas-
ing his trade. Pat 1t down for fact
that WOlfsOn knows how to buy, and
when you examine his goods for quality,
style, make and price, you will under
stand how 1t Is that he keeps selling
these hard times without ringing in the
old chestnut Of "Selling off at cost"

From a Roundup.

Mr.. A. +. DignOwity, who has returned from
an extended trip through Val Verde, UvaIde,
Medina and other counties, reports fine rains
as having fallen everywhere in these counties
and the creeks are all booming. After these
good soaking rains the country presents a
favorable appearance. but the rains are
much. Owing to the low price of cattle and
other products, the farmers and stockmen
have little hopes of paying off their debts for
some time yet. In many instances they have
mortgaged all their lands to the money lend
ers and are hopelessly involved. More especial
ly is this true in Uvalde county.
